Cutting into the inside bottom of the skillet, like "grooving" out coin circles to cast in.What do you mean by "grooving"?
Yeah, i thought about that, its just that i have a few old cast iron skillets to spare and was wondering, thanks!I wouldn't groove too deep into the skillet, as most are maybe 3/16" thick. Cutting grooves may also weaken, or stress the CI internally. This may cause it to crack upon pre heating, and probably most likely, when molten metals are poured in. Another thread about melting in a Graphite mold, search that. Machined steel would be much more stable then CI.
Hahaha! Well if i managed to poor silver in a dollar store silicone ice cube tray that i had sat in ice water without problem, im sure i can make a decent mold to make coins to strike afterwards, out of a cast iron skillet XDIt wouldn't hurt to try it, just make sure there are no body parts underneath the experiment.
Check out the markings on old cast. Some are very valuable to collectors. Convert to cash and buy what you want.Yeah, i thought about that, its just that i have a few old cast iron skillets to spare and was wondering, thanks!
